<description><![CDATA[Mints come in so many varieties, and all tend to cross breed with each other. Classifying mints is a botanist's nightmare, for they hybridize with stunning ease (and frequency). There are said to be over two dozen true species, and literally countless hybrids (and botanists are still trying, with genetic research, to sort out which is truly what)--one source refers to over 200 named varieties.  This has led to a lot of confusion and even herb experts do not always describe the same species in the same way.  Make sure that you buy from trusted herb growers to ensure that you are buying plants that are closest to the true species.]]></description>
